Smoke jumpers are highly trained firefighters who parachute from planes to battle wildfires in hard-to-reach areas. They are also known as "parachute firefighters" or "parattack firefighters." Other synonyms for smoke jumpers include "airborne firefighters," "wildland firefighters," "paratroopers," and "hotshots." These firefighters work in extreme conditions and are required to work closely with the terrain, winds, and weather patterns to contain and extinguish the blaze. They are equipped with specialized gear and work in teams to ensure that they can safely navigate through the terrain and protect themselves while they work to contain the danger. Smoke jumpers are an essential component of wildfire management and provide a critical service to keep our communities safe.
